County and Probate JudgeThe Honorable Henry Epps Brown, born 28 May 1820 was the son of John H. Brown and Sarah Rivers.
Henry Epps Brown married Frances A. “Fannie” Shelton about 1855 in Union County, Arkansas.
Henry Epps and Fannie Shelton Brown had 4 children; Fannie brought 1 child into the marriage:
i. Cassy Ada Russell, born 3 Jan 1848, Alabama, United States; married Dr. William John Pinson, 2 May 1883, Union County, Arkansas; died 21 Dec 1938, Union County, Arkansas.

BIRTH CONFLICT: Looking at the 1860 Census we find that Henrietta is one of 3 children in the household and is age two (2); thus making her birth year to be about 1858. Her Tombstone in the Woodlawn Cemetery, El Dorado, Union County, Arkansas has her birth recorded as Jun. 24, 1848. This date is definitely wrong.On her FindAGrave Memorial we find the following comments about Retta Brown
Daughter of Judge Henry and Francis Shelton Brown.
An elementary school building in El Dorado was named in her honor, the Retta Brown Elementary School. In 2010 that facility is more formally known as Retta Brown Academy of Communication and Technology, located at 505 Dixie Drive, El Dorado AR 71730.v. Virginia M. "Jennie" Brown, born Mar 1865, El Dorado, Union, Arkansas; married Lewis A. Petit, 1887; died bef 1920.
